Does the seat clamp in the pic above come with the frame?

Ok, each to their own.

Must admit, I was swaying in favour of the decals…..

I’d imagine the leather wrap collects dirt (thus damaging the frame finish) & must deteriorate a fair bit getting wet & drying off time after time?

Love the matt blue in the pic above, but can see me going for the ‘ceramic coat’ colour – Matt or gloss, still not decided.

Got til the 7th January (when the powder coaters come back off holiday) to decide…..

Quandary1)

Leather wrap:

Or decals:

Quandary2)

Ceramic coated no longer available – even though I ordered the last one (long story)

So, do I stick with getting one powder coated the same colour, or go with something different? (Any RAL I want)

Quandary3)

Gloss or Matt finish?

Zaskar LE I think.

Always wanted one back in the day….

OMFKNG!

Truly amazing! 8O

A bit more time researching tonight then…..

Scienceofficer:

You are indeed correct – I just paid for the frame this morning.

I was fortunate enough to get the very last ceramic coated in XL! :)

Oh & the PF92 – WTF?

***EDIT: PF92 explained :)

Another Industry standard – can I fit ‘normal’ Shimano cranks?

Take it I will need some sort of covertor?

Scienceofficer:

I’m currently a Solaris owner, maybe not for long…..

Seriously considering a 2Souls QH.

How does it compare?

Much weight difference?

Any idea how much your build weighs?

Are they 140mm Pikes?

Many thanks in advance.

***Sorry for the slight hijack***

I have a Solaris & can’t fault it.

The only thing I’d change it for would be a 2Souls Quarterhorse……

Congratulations, all the best for your new arrival in March.

Ti balance bike? :)

You Sir, clearly have too much money! (Extremely envious btw)

Single with no kids?

Another vote for Pro 2 / Stans Arch EX.

Yes, I run 32c Small Blocks on my Arch EX rims.

Which version of Reverb have you got?

100 or 125mm?

If 125, it would help swapping it for a 100….

Wow! – I’d imagine Mr Schwarzenegger rides one of those!

Sell it & move on while you can.

+1 for carbon paste.

Poirot.

Awesome video!!!

I’d also like to know where they are!

I live in Monifieth, so just outside Tayside….

I got a £20 off voucher from them the other day.

It was pretty random – Maybe something to do with me placing 20+ orders recently & spending a fair bit > £2k…… 8O

P.S. If they honour a price match, you can’t use another code like XMAS20 :(

Link to said baselayer:

Very tempted, but don’t even need one!;)

Wicked!

ADP Jr. was gonna b getting a Frog next year…..

That looks more up his street – wants brakes like Daddy :)

This shocked me:

Oh yeah, I know!

They are specifically for 29er’s.

XO only £79.99 here:

Sounds like a lot of hassle, why not buy a new bike to go with the tyres?

It’s kinda obvious when you think about it…..

Shave the Beast!

What’s the stem attached to your seatpost for? (1st pic)

Myhermes – sending a wheel will be < £5.

Thanks all (Definitely proud Dad!) :-)

He genuinely has a love / addiction (his Mum’s words) for his bike & asks nearly every day to go on it.

We regularly go out (usually with me pushing his sister in the pram) & do 4 miles without any issues & it’s been like that for over a year.

The smiles on this old pic say it all:

Even more recently covered in mud:

That boys aff is heed!

Gore Alp-X 2.0 GT AS works for me:

Bump.

This isn’t on your list??? (I’m offended!) :-)

Mate, you are doing exceptionally well, I know you well enough to know that your willpower, determination & sheer strength would see you on your feet & to a quick recovery.

Looking forward to getting out riding again soon.

If you were an animal – u would be an Ox.

See you soon.

Niterider cherrybomb 1 Watt.

Brilliant and very bright!

I have an XL Solaris in green…..

The brake would be protected from ‘rotational’ muck, to a certain extent by the chain stays……

Superb! – Loved that ?

Hats off to the workers! – Wish I could fit a tyre & tube in 50 seconds…..
